Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient approach based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) to simulate nearly incompressible fluids. The proposed method is an extension of the traditional SPH method designed for compressible fluids. We first introduce a new scheme for pressure evaluation to satisfy the incompressibility constraints. Then novel calculation methods for pressure force and viscosity force are discussed. Finally, the results demonstrate that our method is more capable of realistically simulating fluids with near-incompressibility than previous method.
